Three months had passed since Qingming was established, and Wei Yuan began to assess the surrounding situation.
The Northwest Witch City was severely damaged; six to seven out of ten residents were lost, and three to four out of ten soldiers were casualties. Reconstruction was now taking place amid difficulties, with massive amounts of materials and large numbers of civilian warriors arriving daily. The reconstruction would take some time, and Wei Yuan planned to let it continue.
In the Eastern South, Western Jin had set up a series of military camps, but they were in name only.
Here, unlike in the Northern Territory where military camps and cities supported each other strategically, the area surrounding Qingming had originally been deserted land, with considerable distance between each camp. Thus, battles were fought independently, making it easy to defeat each camp one by one.
